Description

The 2025 Australian federal election was held on Saturday, 3 May 2025, to elect members of the 48th Parliament of Australia. All 150 seats in the House of Representatives were up for election, along with 40 of the 76 seats in the Senate. The Albanese Labor government was elected for a second term in a landslide victory over the opposition Liberal–National Coalition, led by Peter Dutton. Labor secured 94 seats in the House of Representatives — the highest number of seats ever won by a single political party in an Australian election. The victory was larger than expected from the opinion polling released shortly before the election, which had predicted a substantially narrower Labor victory or minority government.
